If you need a succession certificate, you must file a petition before the competent civil court having jurisdiction over the deceased's last place of residence or where the property is located. Submit the death certificate, details of the legal heirs, and other required documents. After following the prescribed legal procedure, the court may issue the succession certificate if the claim is found valid. For further legal sassistance contact us on our helpline number.
